my Craft Robo has arrived and not able to set it up just yet , no space ( very frustrating ) have just read the instructions and boy it looks very complicated !!
Can someone tell me do you have to use special paper
Think I may be asking lots of questions

Sam

I have written a quick page that may help robo notes

You can cut card and paper, and other products - like vinyl.  Not quite sure what else - I have an older robo and only do card.

Thanks Carolyn , that is very helpful , am sure once I have set it up and looked at it properly it wont look so complicated

how is it going

Not great , can you tell me , wether the cutting mat should get cutting marks on when you cut it like the cuttlebug does

yes it will mark - but if it is marking too much I would reduce the cutting thickness.  You can adjust it manually

sorry for being a pain , it seems very complicated , the manual is just words not meaning anything

is there any way to stop the paper curling

I don’t seem to have a curling problem - I tend to use thin card.  Is it when you are just taking it off the sticky back.  The stickiness soon goes off and it probably won’t curl as much.

I did think the QK tutorials were much better than the Robo stuff - have you looked at those?  There is a link on my page.

Carolyn’s page is good as well Sam, is there something in particular you are having problems with?

Carolyns page is great , just cant get my head round any of it ( being particularly stupid I think !! )

I don’t think your being stupid Sam, it does take a while to get used to it but its worth perservering. Have you managed to get anything cut yet? What are you trying to cut?

not really , want to kick it across the room at the moment

what are you having problems with?  Have you found the standard temples that Cr supply?

I think I am just being very stupid and missing something very simple ,

I think , I was expecting it do more than I want , would like some simple flowers

I just got mine at xmas and I was the same as you, terrified,
carolyns explanations were fab and I am managing it not too bad now,
I also got help from the robo demonstrator at Glasgow fair he was great,
carolyn thanks for all your help by the way, and the fabby files xxxx
